RoNNEr. January LIST, 81.

huANhls JNAuttN Isl, o.
have just read letter in the
Moorefeld Eramiaer, purporting to
have been written in this place, be-
ginning SIS follows;
The Democrats of this county are en-
thusiast ically in favO- of the election of
Judge Armstrong 70 the Senate by the.
next Legislature.
Now, l do not believe there is a
man in this county who has taken a
more active part in politics or who
has heard the Senatorial question
discussed more than myself, vet |
have never once heard the name of
Judge Armstrong mentioned in con
nectiOn with the United States Sen
ate until / saw the communication
in the EcamiRer, headed Letter
from Hampshire" nor has his name
ever been publicly mentioned here
in that connection. The Senatorial
question has been fully and freely
discussed and the almost unanimous
choice as expressed by the Demo
Gratis here is for Daniel b. Lucas or
John J. Davis, either IS their first
or second choice. | would also add
that the chances of j. \. Camden
and II. G. Davis have been freely
talked of, but with two or three eX-
ceptionS every Democrat has eX-
pressed himself as opposed to either.
/ showed the letter in the EramiRer
10 number of true, hardwOrking
Democrats an they were all as mnch
astonished as myself at not seeing
the great enthusiasm for a man
whose name they had not before
heard mentioned as a candidate for
the Senate II may be that had
Judge Armstrong; name been men
mentioned, as q few other gentlemen
have been. that it would have in
spired enthusiasm among the people
of his own county who love him and
honor him and | for one have too
high regard for him as 9n upright
Judge, honest man 8nd christian
gentleman to believe that had he
been consulted he would have allow
ed the first mention of his name to
be madewith a falsehoOd. | would
also say that if Judge Armstrong
has ever been thought of here as
possible candidate for the Senate it
has been by so very a select few who
did not, even thenaelves, have enthu-
siasm enough over the matter TO let
it be known here. Therefore | say
that the statement that The Demo
Gratis Of Hampshire are enthusiastic
cally in favor" of electing q man
whose name they never heard men
toned as q candidate is not true and
calculated to mislead and deceive.
TELL THE Truth, DEMOCRAT.
The above is written to us by a
gentlemen well known in Hampshire .
and as much trusted and as much .
respected by hiS neighOOrs as any (
man could possibly be. He is a
Democrat by conviction and no man
even in Hampshire, has done more
for his party He stands there as
Jno. T. Colston stands here,-when-
ever there is work to be done he
comes to the front and does it.
Respecting Judge Armstrong we
cheerruily 90 on the record by say
inc, tina, among those who know him
no man could be more acceptable for /
the Senate. Hejs so constituted by .
nature that he could not, if he tried, .
wear the collar of monopoly; he is not .
only honest but he is honest m nded. /
Il is indeed unfortunate for the /
country that we have no more men /.
like Judge Armstrong in the public /.
service.

Hon. c. p. Dorr, OF Webster, is a
candidate for Sergeaat-atArms Of
the House. Webster can always be
relied upon to give her usual ma
jority and, with the exception of
Auditor Duffy, she has had no re
cognition. Mr.. Dorr is 4 gentleman
with a good private character: hels
a staunch Democrat, and his eiec-
ton would bring strength to the
party. We win need the votes in
Webster at the next election. The
Legislature will make grave mis-
take if it gives this office to man
whose private character will not
bear inspection.

mean business, and will not commence

''YOu will encounter considerable OPP
position to that measure, senator. Do
you not expect it?'
''There will be no reasonable OppOSi-
ton in either house of congress. The
Hennepin canal people may make an
opposition of some sort, but it will be
the opposition of jealousy, and not a
reasonable opposition. The Hennepin
is good scheme, and will not find any
of us Objecting to it, probably. But we
do not want the friends of that measure
to stand in our way. The 500 bill is
one which is of vast Importance to three
great states at the very least, and it Is
approximately of advantage to Dakota,
as we'll as to New York and New En-
gland. The Henuepin bill interests Hi
nOis more than any other state. but it is
also of interest to Iowa and Wisconsin.
l am in favor of all legitimate public
improvements for the public veal, and
shall hope to avoid all opposition to
merit0ri0uS measures, regardless OF sec
tiOnal lines. You may say that am OF
the opinion that the 500 bill will go
through all right, and also that l am eX-
ceedingly well pleased with Minnesota's
standing in the senate"

BALFOUR TALKS.
The Irish Secretary Makes a
Speech at Manchester.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-Mr. Balfour adj
dressed an immense meeting at Man.
chester tonight. There was cOnsidera-
bic disorder at times, and the Irish Sec
retary was both hissed and cheered re-
peatedly. In consequence of the warn
ing conveyed by the Times sensational
story of plot to assassinate Mr.. Bal
four the precautions taken by the police
were quite elaborate. Mr. Balfour, in
the course Of his speech compared Mr..
Trevelyan to Bunyan's "pitiable,"
who started with Christian on
the right road but falling into
the Slough of DispOnd, used violent
language toward his companion. and
finally returned to the City of Destruc-
ton. The Radicals, he said, had
changed not only their old policy, but
their old morality as well, and even the
foremost Separatist showed an increas-
ing want of moral perception. Mr.
Gladstone had been forced to retract
the assertion made at Nottingham
while Mr.. Trevelyan talked about the
increase of evictions. The fact was,
that during the first three months of
Mr.. Trevelyan's administration as chief
secretary for Ireland there were $50
evictions, while during the same period
of his (Balfour's) tenure there were only
1872. In conclusion BalfOur predicted
the complete triumph OF order under
the governments Irish policy.

grand jury found an Indictment against
John II. Drake. editor of the Pioneer,
charging him with embezzlement. He
was arraigned before Judge Spencer to-
day and pleaded not guilty. Owing to
the sickness of the prosecuting attorney
the case was not brought to trial at
once. although it will probably be heard
during the present term of court. The
case grew out of the WaldrOn land deal
as telegraphed the GLOBE recently, in
which l.. q. johnson claims to have
given Drake 81, $50 for the specific pur-
pose of buying tract of land. As shown
in the testimony in the civil case Drake
appropriated the money to his own use,
not attempting to buy the land for
WaldrOn and refusing to refund.

man of that important committee, and
right good man he was for the place,

tor Sawyer takes position on that COM
mittee, as does also Senator Palmer, of

''How about the bill for the improve
ment of the Sault Ste. Marie and Hay
Lake channels?"
Il am glad you bring up that subject.
There is nothing that can be introduced
during the present session which will
prove of more interest to the farmers,
mechanics, merchants, and all classes
and conditions of men in Minnesota
and the Northwest than that same bill.
1t will be introduced in a few days by
Senator Palmer. of Michigan. We are
all agreed upon working for it, and it
